Description Harish NV Rao 2020-08-05 11:13:19 UTC
Description of problem:

Users did not understand what “Data Resiliency- Pending” meant. 
The alert details page repeated the same information on the dashboard, e.g. “Disk device... not responding.”
The alert message didn’t help diagnose the problem-the alert stated the problem but users wanted to know what they could do.
One user ignored the alert message on the dashboard because it read like an URL.
Users questioned the value of Alert details page when it showed an empty chart.
One user questioned what “Firing” meant for State.

UX issue severity level: 3-Medium (refer below mentioned doc for severity levels)

This BZ is being filed based on the Usability study conducted on RHOCS during July 2020. A complete report on this Usability study can be found here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1w65Rl2ZsTew-TIqgKUaZ9Y-1DmG1Z4Y59sYQjYC_mMM/edit#slide=id.g547716335e_0_260

Moving it to UX, to determine what needs to fixed here as this is a generic component.

Comment 2 Yuval 2020-08-10 08:01:10 UTC
If we dont have more information to add at the moment lets remove the link to the alert details page. we need to check how can we have a clear information about each alert.

Comment 3 Nishanth Thomas 2021-02-13 09:19:30 UTC
Setting target release to the active development branch (4.8.0). For any fixes, where required , cloned BZs will be created for those release maintenance streams.

@badhikar , does https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1866322#c2 make sense?

Comment 4 Bipul Adhikari 2021-02-24 05:40:04 UTC
Yes it does. Moving it to assigned. And targeting for this sprint. We will remove the link for `Show Details` from our dashboards. However it will remain the same in the main cluster dashboard.

Reopening this bug based on discussion starting at https://github.com/openshift/console/pull/8231#issuecomment-785113674.

https://github.com/openshift/console/pull/8265 reverts the change to hide the link.

The comment here shows that many of the frontend alert details issues have been addressed:

The alert description should be improved, but this is not a console issue. It's a problem with the alert itself.
